(More customer reviews)This would be a fine book to take on vacation to Belize.
I read it while lounging by the bay at Corozal after having driven through the terrain described in this novel. The author described the landscape quite well. He was overly generous with the wildlife (no monkeys about in this area; macaws are almost extinct in Belize) but he captured the feeling of the area. The characters were not as detailed as in truly great literature but well enough to carry the plot. I had a little trouble at the start because so many characters were introduced I occasionally lost track of who was double-crossing whom. By mid-book, the central cast had narrowed and the action tightened. By the end, I handed it to my wife and said, "this one is good!"

Fred Ball, the American Secretary of State, is kidnapped in Belize. American Special Forces attempt a rescue. The small but elite group of highly trained soldiers must overcome the difficulties of terrain, politics, mercenaries, and a nefarious plot hatched by various individuals in the governments of Mexico and Guatemala. A very powerful drug lord complicates the rescue by enlisting the services of a Belizean bandit, who, in turn, is set upon by both Mexican and Guatemalan soldiers. Washington and its politics are drawn into the maelstrom that Latin America becomes as a result of the kidnapping. Fred Ball survives numerous firefights, a brutal trek through the jungle and a helicopter crash.
